When it comes to injuries it doesn't make sense for us fans to speculate on when a player will come back or when he should come back. None of us really knows how bad these guys are hurt. Even the coaches never know for sure. It's up to the player to say when he's ready and up to the coaches and physician to decide if it's safe for him to return.

Why not, I'm right every time. LOL

Joking...

Don't count on it. I don't think Kittle is going to play and honestly, we have enough to beat the Cards if we FIX the problems we had on offense like - making sure that Jimmy and WRs are on the same page and getting Jimmy to release the ball and not hold it (as much). If drops are a problem, emphasize it in practice. I surmise we just aren't used to being a passing team and now that we must be one, they have to learn how to become one again. From a play-calling perspective, it also means Kyle needs to get more creative and not have Jimmy just drop back in the same spot every play (7 steps) and just throw. Screens, check-downs to backs, etc. I've seen Kyle do it. There's more than one way to keep up and the defense should be a lot better against the Cards given they've rested and have a lot more to prove and should be PISSED they lost on Monday.

I'd rather have Kittle sit and be 100% for Green Bay than be 50% and re injure himself against at team we SHOULD be able to beat without him.

Clarified.

There's been some question about what "close, guys" meant. Kittle was playfully jabbing reporters saying they were close to getting him to talk for the first time since the injury on Halloween. It wasn't a reference to how close he was to returning. https://t.co/N5C1ZETut9

Id speculate for giggles lol judging by the hit, and the way it was manipulated, id say it would cause problems with the hammys, pcl, and possibly the patella. If nothing tore, id assume it would be a sprain. Or the knee could be just sore and its the ankle that is giving him the issue. 3 weeks should be the time table. But im just speculating. id just hope hed be back by the time we play the saints and ravens to make our playoff push.

John Lynch on @KNBR similar to yesterday, #49ers don't expect to have Kittle but not ruling him out: "George would have our necks if we did rule him out... He's a guy that you sometimes have to protect from himself... We've got to make sure we've got George for the long term."

I would really like to draft another pass catching TE in the later rounds in case this happens again and kyle can pull off major mismatches with kittle and the other guy.
